Throwback to a happy moment, before things got a little... errmmm... challenging.

3 good things that happened last week:
1. I got discharged from hospital Saturday night. I honestly couldn't wait. If I didn't have skin removed from half my thigh I would have literally sprinted out of there. Instead, I shuffled and winced my way out.
2. I was re-united with my dog. She was SO happy to see me after a week, I thought she might explode with delight! She's barely left my side since :)
3. I was reunited with my own bed and that felt pretty amazing. There's nothing quite like your own bed!
So basically, pretty grateful to be home.

For those who don't know, I just spent a week in the burns & plastics unit at Pinderfields hospital after sustaining chemical burns at home. I actually thought it was just a little skin infection at first, so the chemicals continued burning into my skin for even longer, until I figured out what had happened. My injuries got infected and I ended up with 6 or 7 skin grafts. It's been every bit as horrific as it sounds and I can't wait until it's all over.

I'm going to try and spend some time in work next week, but it will be a little while before things are back to normal. Until then, please bear with me.

***PLEASE NOTE*** I am still taking on new clients, but your session may need to be held online. If you're ok with that, please get in touch, I'd love to hear from you.

Just a quickie update for those who even knew I've spent the last week at Costa Del Pinderfields...

I plan on sending out some updates re the Mind Spa sessions later this week, once I know how often I'll need to return here for further treatment.

I had 6 or 7 skin grafts yesterday and it's as uncomfortable as "they" say. I accidentally gave myself chemical burns (which is a long story in itself, so I'll spare you details). So it's going to be quite a recovery process.

I plan on re-booking client appointments and Mind Spa sessions (including the free ones that we're badly affected by my hospital stay) next week. I just need to find out my schedule for returning to the hospital for aftercare first.

I apologise to anyone affected by this week's antics. And of course for any disappointment.

For those who haven't received an email re the Mind Spa sessions and have turned up at Eastthorpe Hall this week...

Please accept my apologies for the Mind Spa cancellations this week. I did my best to contact everyone about the cancellations but for many reasons not everyone saw/received an email.

Fortunately, I'm not in the habit of making this my work location. In fact, I 10/10 do NOT recommend it. Eastthorpe Hall has so much more ambience and i simply cannot wait to return to my sanctuary and lead more Mind Spa sessions.

On that note, I'll be in touch with ticket holders personally once I'm settled at home. Thanks x

Never thought this would be my work location this week, but here we are. Making the most of it and catching up on some training. Back in action shortly! Apologies to anyone affected by this week's antics.

23/02/2026

hi, I'm currently in Pinderfields Hospital, having come in after one of yesterday's sessions. I have contacted everyone who booked their own ticket. However, some people booked on behalf of friends and Eventbrite only gives me the bookers details. Hence, some people couldn't be contacted. I did my best to email everyone but Pinderfields wifi and the 2G signal even has been really patchy and some emails sent, some didn't. I didn't know that until this afternoon. I did put a post on my page today (or tried to! Is it not there?). Eastthorpe Hall staff know I'm away and have been informing people during the day, but after hours, is proving harder to get hold of folk especially. I am going to reschedule the events when I get back to work, so I will be in touch. Apologies for any inconvenience.

Did you know…Your nervous system doesn’t relax because you tell it to — it relaxes because it recognises a familiar sensory pattern.

In hypnotherapy, that familiar sensory pattern is known as an ANCHOR — a cue your system learns to recognise and respond to automatically.

When you repeat the same relaxing practice regularly, your body learns the route back faster each time. That’s why returning to the same Mind Spa journey can feel deeper, quicker, and more restorative than trying something new every time. Your system remembers what helped it settle — and it takes you there again.

If you’d like to build that familiar pathway for yourself, you’re welcome to join a Mind Spa session.

I offer group sessions at Eastthorpe Hall, individual sessions online or in person, and private or corporate groups either at Eastthorpe Hall or at your own venue if you have a suitable space. Please get in touch on 07808 931714 (UK) or +44 7808 931714 (Intl).

***Today's Hypnotic Universe Case Study: How Hypnotherapy Helped a Client Turn Down Her Tinnitus and Feel More in Control***

I recently worked with a lady who’d been living with tinnitus for a long time. The constant noise had started to affect her sleep, her focus, and her stress levels. She told me it felt like she could never fully switch off - she said she felt like her nervous system was always “on.” Now, hypnotherapy doesn’t claim to CURE tinnitus, but it can help people change the way they EXPERIENCE it. That’s exactly what we focused on together.

Here’s what we did:
***She learnt how to “turn the volume down” internally*** Using hypnotic techniques, I guided her into a state where she could shift her attention away from the sound and reduce the emotional charge around it. We used sensory‑based imagery to help her brain “turn the dial down,” so the tinnitus felt less intrusive and less overwhelming.
***She built short‑term coping tools for flare‑ups*** These were simple strategies that she could use whenever the tinnitus spiked. Things like grounding techniques, breath‑based settling, and a personalised hypnotic cue she could use to calm her system quickly. These gave her something practical to reach for in the moment, instead of feeling helpless.
***She strengthened her long‑term resilience*** This worked on the stress–tinnitus cycle. When stress rises, tinnitus often feels louder; when tinnitus feels louder, stress rises. Through hypnotherapy, we focused on lowering her baseline stress levels, helping her body settle more easily, and creating a calmer internal environment overall. She did this by attending my regular Mind Spa (guided relaxation) sessions, which formed a natural end to her hypnotherapy sessions.

After a few sessions, she told me she felt more in control, more settled, and - most importantly - that the tinnitus “no longer ran the whole day.” The sound was still there, but her relationship with it had changed. She felt steadier, calmer, and more able to get on with her life.

If you’re living with tinnitus and want support in managing the stress, overwhelm, or emotional load that comes with it, hypnotherapy can be a gentle and effective way to build coping skills and feel more in control again.

Another Hypnotic Universe Case Study: Supporting a 42 Year Old Woman with Her Diabetes Management

A 42‑year‑old client came to see me with a familiar challenge: Type 2 diabetes, a HbA1c of 98 mmol/mol (a measure of somebody's long term blood glucose level), and a pattern of forgetting to take her medication. She wasn’t careless. She was overwhelmed.

Between work, family, and the mental load of managing her health, she often found herself skipping meals, grabbing quick fixes, and forgetting her tablets - not because she didn’t care, but because she was simply stuck in survival mode.

She wanted to feel more in control. She wanted to eat better, remember her medication, and bring her blood glucose down - not just for her health, but for her confidence.

**Why hypnotherapy?**
When someone’s nervous system is overloaded, even simple tasks can feel impossible. Hypnotherapy helps calm that internal noise and rebuild the mental patterns that support consistent, healthy choices.

We worked together to:
* reduce overwhelm and mental fatigue
* create new, automatic habits around medication and meals
* strengthen her motivation and sense of self‑trust
* gently rewire the emotional triggers that led to avoidance or self‑sabotage

We didn’t focus on willpower.
We focused on sustained pattern change.

**The results?**
She had a weekly session for 4 weeks and then attended monthly Mind Spa sessions to keep on top of her stress levels. Nine months later, she got back in touch.
Her HbA1c was now 41mmol/mol (healthy!).

She was eating better, taking her medication consistently, and - most importantly - feeling proud of herself. That’s the power of working with the mind, not against it.

If you’re living with a health condition and want to feel more in control of your habits, hypnotherapy can support you in ways that feel calm, sustainable and empowering. I blend my nursing background with hypnotherapy experience to help you achieve the outcomes that you're looking for.

**A Hypnotic Universe Case Study: Overcoming Claustrophobia

A lady in her 40's came to see me with a fear that had quietly shaped her life for years: claustrophobia.

It wasn’t just lifts or small rooms. It was trains, changing rooms, crowded corridors, even certain conversations - anything that felt “closed in” triggered a rising sense of panic. She’d learned to avoid, adapt, and plan around it. But the cost was constant tension and a shrinking sense of freedom.

What made her story surprising to many was that her fear didn’t start with a traumatic event. It started with a moment of overwhelm - one she didn’t even realise had left a mark.

**Why does claustrophobia happen?**
The mind is always trying to protect us. Sometimes, it misreads the situation. If someone feels trapped, overwhelmed, or emotionally cornered — even briefly — the brain can tag that moment as unsafe.

Later, when they’re in a physically enclosed space, the nervous system remembers that feeling and reacts as though it’s happening again. It’s not a conscious fear. It’s a learned association. And over time, the body starts reacting to *space* as if it were *emotion*. And that’s where hypnotherapy can help.

**How hypnotherapy helped**
In our sessions, we worked gently with the part of her mind that had been trying to keep her safe. We used focused hypnotherapy techniques to help her nervous system separate past overwhelm from present reality — and to build a new sense of calm in enclosed spaces.

We didn’t force exposure. We built safety from the inside out. By session four, she found herself standing in a lift — something she hadn’t done in years — and realised she felt calm. No panic. No racing thoughts. Just a quiet sense of “I can do this.” That moment didn’t just change her commute. It changed her confidence.

**Get in Touch**
If fear or anxiety is limiting your life, even in subtle ways, hypnotherapy can help you create real, lasting change. Message me with your availability to arrange your private hypnotherapy session. Louise — 07808 931714 (UK) / +44 7808 931714 (Intl).
